Re: Create Graphical interface

Hello All,
I have a question that some what pertains to this thread. I myself am
learning Swing in order to make a nice GUI front end.

So, here is my question. How are you validating screen entries and getting
data to the screen? Do you have to write your own program to control this? I
would like to be able to throw a GUI over an already existing RPG program.

I realize there are things like LegaSuite out there, but is there a way to
do this without having to buy some software? I assume it can be done, but
I'm just struggling on how Java can work with RPG in this way.

I would appreciate any help or tips.

Thanks in advance,
James R. Perkins

Hey! This looks like a lot of fun. It's amazing what people will create.
And I like the argument about using this theme for prototypes and work in
progress. Great stuff!

Glen, I was intrigued by your "747 cockpit" quote. I never heard that

one. Well, I did some Google research, and I came across with this
presentation:

http://www.javagruppen.dk/hindsgavl06/Sessions/Swing%20development.pdf/Swing%20development.pdf

It's full of good stuff.

Regarding look and feel I did a project a while back, where I used the
Napkin look and feel (http://napkinlaf.sourceforge.net/) to enforce that
this was a prototype - a work in progress. You might like it - it is fun.
